As the spring sports season nears its postseason, the Tribune’s Athlete of the Week poll is returning once again. Last week’s winners were Katie Slade of Great Falls High track and Chad Wyman of Great Falls High tennis. Each week, two girls and two boys will be nominated, with the audience choosing the winner through a poll.
Athletic directors, coaches, parents, and fans are encouraged to submit nominations for Athlete of the Week for competitors in all sports in northcentral Montana. Nominations can be sent to sports reporter Grady Higgins at ghiggins@greatfallstribune.com. Voting for this week’s poll will be open until Friday at 11:59 p.m., and the winners will be announced in the following week’s Athlete of the Week story.
This week’s nominees for the girls are Harley Brown, CMR softball, who finished with five RBIs and earned a win as the starting pitcher; and Addi Kynett, Great Falls High track, who set a personal record in the triple jump.
For the boys, this week’s nominees are Tristan Watson, Great Falls High track, who won the high jump at the crosstown meet; and Josh Stimac, CMR tennis, who helped lead the Rustlers to victory in a dual match.
